Description:   Opened: 2004-10-03 19:10 0000 
As far as I can tell, updata-desktop-database from desktop-file-utils always
segfaults on /usr/share/applications. Notably, desktop-file-utils-0.9
(http://freedesktop.org/Software/desktop-file-utils/releases/desktop-file-utils-0.9.tar.gz)
seems to work fine; the fdo site mentions that 0.9 has "Many
update-desktop-database improvements (Ray Strode, Dan Williams)". Perhaps it's
time for a new ebuild?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =desktop-file-utils-0.8
2. update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications


Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  
Successful update

System uname: 2.6.8-gentoo i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -frename-registers -fomit-frame-pointer "
gcc-3.4.2-r1
glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1
